Cotton Industry - 957 words
Cotton Industry THE COTTON INDUSTRY IN AUSTRALIA
1. Introduction Cotton is one of the oldest fibres
used by human beings. Archaeologists have found
cotton 5000 years old. Alexander the Great, around
300 BC, brought cotton goods into Europe but only
the rich could afford it. The cotton plant grew
wild in East Africa. Cotton belongs to the
Hibiscus family. Our commercial varieties of
cotton were developed from perennial shrubs in
Central America. (Source A) 2. History of the
cotton industry. Governor Phillip brought
cottonseeds to Australia on the First Fleet in
1788. However, substantial production really only
occurred in the 1860's with the American Civil war
creating a shortage for the Engl ...

'Dem Cotton Pickin' Okies Not only stock markets
were affected by the Depression. The farming
society may have been the ones who suffered the
most. Not only their section in the bank had been
destroyed, but also the dust had eaten up their
homes, work place, and places of entertainment!
When dust storms hit no one knew what the 1,000
feet high, black dust clouds were. Some thought
life was ending, and others thought it was
judgment day. This phenomenon was caused by the
drought, which lead to the decline of farmers. The
soil turned bad, and caused the Dust Bowl. The
residents of the Midwest had to deal with this
very dilemma and it was not easy at all. For the
most part, families stayed in t ...

Von Zeppelin and his crew operated their first
airship nearly one hundred years ago. Airships are
big controllable balloons, also known as
dirigibles. There are three classes of airships,
rigid, nonrigid and semirigid. Rigid airships
(zeppelins) use framework in the interior to keep
their shape. Semirigid airships are a combination
of framework and gas pressure to maintain their
shape. Nonrigid airships (blimps) rely solely on
air pressure to keep their form. They are all
propelled with engines, use rudders and elevator
flaps for steering and have a gondola where
passengers travel. The pride of the zeppelin works

A Booming End To The 19th Century - 1,105 words
A Booming End To The 19Th Century More changes
occurred in America in the late 19th century than
any other time period. The country went through
rapid expansion from residents of its land to
cuisine to transportation of goods and people.
While the last quarter of the 20th century brought
many modern conveniences, the century before
brought this country things that would be nearly
impossible to live without. The development of
railroads was the single greatest change in the
19th century. In only twenty-five years, almost
70,000 miles of tracks were laid. This in itself
was a great feat, because of all the people and
products used in the building of the railroads. In
order to build railroads, ...

A Good Man Is Hard To Find By Flannery Oconnor - 1,311 words
"A Good Man Is Hard To Find" by Flannery O'Connor
"A Good Man Is Hard To Find," by Flannery
O'Connor, presents many topics that can be
discussed and debated. Christianity is one of the
main topics that influence this paper and its
meaning. The exploration for the meaning of the
Christian faith is continuous throughout
O'Connor's paper. Christianity is filled with sin
and punishment, good and evil, belief and
unbelief, but grandmother fully tells her opinion
as she tries to convince "The Misfit" that he is a
good Christian man before he kills her.
Foreshadowing, personification, and the meaning of
religion are all main points effecting the reader
as they interpret this story. Foreshadowing is ...

britches on,' June Star said. 'He probably didn't
have any,' the grandmother explained. 'Little
niggers in the country don't have things like we
do. If I could paint that picture,' she said. The
grandmother's pretty picture is ruined when the
little boy shows his bum to her. The old women's
attempt to look beyond a blatant reality and make
it pretty is being mocked by O'Connor. The author
has blended the line between the satirical and the
lyrical to form a beauty that would not be
considered a standard pretty picture. The same
blending of the satirical and the lyrical occurs
later in the story with the children playing with
Red Sammy's monke ...

The story of A Good Man Is Hard to Find by
Flannery OConnor has been debated and analyzed so
much because it can be interpreted one thousand
different ways. OConnors characters are usually
searching for an elusive salvation, and her
stories illustrate her views on the human
condition. Many spiritual themes weave their way
through her work, but never seem to achieve their
intended ends. In this story, groups of criminals
massacre an entire family while their ringleader
discusses theology with the family's grandmother,
only a hundred feet away. The source of the
misinterpretation of the storys ...

Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin "So this is the

Lincoln's legendary comment upon meeting Harriet
Beecher Stowe demonstrates the significant place
her novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin, holds in American
history. Published in book form in 1852, the novel
quickly became a national bestseller and stirred
up strong emotions in both the North and South.
The context in which Uncle Tom's Cabin was
written, therefore, is just as significant as the
actual content. Among other things, Stowe's
publication of her novel was stimulated by the

A Rose For Emily - 531 words
A Rose For Emily Letting Go Many people hate to
let things go. People find security and comfort in
their possessions and the company they keep. If
all this is ripped away from a person, it can have
a very negative effect on that persons life. In
Faulkners short story, A Rose for Emily,
everything that a person knows is gradually taken
away from her gradually leading to her madness.
Miss Emily, the main character in this short
story, is an example of a time that once was. Miss
Emily had been a tradition, a duty, and a care; a
sort of hereditary obligation upon the town(362).
Not only is her appearance a symbol of the past
but the place that she called home is also very
old fashioned. Miss Emi ...

A ROSE FOR EMILY A Rose for Emily takes place
after the Civil War and into the 1900s in the town
of Jefferson, Mississippia town very similar to
the one in which William Faulkner spent most of
his life. It is a story of the conflict between
the old and the new South, the past and the
presentwith Emily and the things around her
steadfastly representing the dying old traditions
and the present expressed mostly through the words
of the narrator but also through Homer Barron and
the new board of aldermen. The issue of racism
also runs throughout the story. In part I,
Faulkner refers to Emily as a "fallen monument", a
monument to the southern gentility that existed
before the Civil War. Her house ...

A Rose For Emily Time And Setting - 963 words
A Rose For Emily (Time And Setting) In A Rose for
Emily by William Faulkner, the author uses the
element of time to enhance details of the setting
and vice versa. By avoiding the chronological
order of events of Miss Emily's life, Faulkner
first gives the reader a finished puzzle, and then
allows the reader to examine this puzzle piece by
piece, step by step. By doing so, he enhances the
plot and presents two different perspectives of
time held by the characters. The first perspective
(the world of the present) views time as a
mechanical progression in which the past is a
diminishing road. The second perspective (the
world of tradition and the past) views the past as
a huge meadow which no w ...

Abortion - 2,032 words
Abortion Abortion in today's society has become
very political. You are either pro-choice or
pro-life, and there doesn't seem to be a happy
medium. As we look at abortion and research its
history, should it remain legal in the United
States, or should it be outlawed to reduce the
ever growing rate of abortion. A choice should
continue to exist but the emphasis needs to be
placed on education of the parties involved. James
C. Mohr takes a good look at abortion in his book
Abortion in America. He takes us back in history
to the 1800s so we can understand how the practice
and legalization of abortion has changed over the
year. In the absence of any legislation whatsoever
on the subject of abort ...

African American Culture African American Culture
Culture is not a fixed phenomenon, nor is it the
same in all places or to all people. It is
relative to time, place, and particular people.
Learning about other people can help us to
understand ourselves and to be better world
citizens. One of the most common ways of studying
culture is to focus on the differences within and
among cultures. Although their specifics may vary
form one culture to another, sociologists refer to
those elements or characteristics that can be
found in every know society as cultural
universals. For example, in all societies, funeral
rites include expression of grief, disposing of
the dead, and rituals that define the ...

African Americans In The South - 1,211 words
African Americans In The South As a social and
economic institution, slavery originated in the
times when humans began farming instead of hunting
and gathering. Slave labor became commonplace in
ancient Greece and Rome. Slaves were created
through the capture of enemies, the birth of
children to slave parents, and means of
punishment. Enslaved Africans represented many
different peoples, each with distinct cultures,
religions, and languages. Most originated from the
coast or the interior of West Africa, between
present-day Senegal and Angola. Other enslaved
peoples originally came from Madagascar and
Tanzania in East Africa. Slavery became of major
economic importance after the sixteenth cen ...

different again. The result brought him instant
stardom. During the early 1960s, he also continued
